CROP PROSPECTS.

WASHINGTON, July Sl.-The weather
crop bulletin of the signal office Mt
Washington, for the week ending July
30 says: During the week the weather
hrs been warmer than usual from the
southern New England and middle At
lantic states westward to the Rocky
mountains, the average daily excess be
ing about three degrees.
During the week there has been an
excess of rainfall in states bordering on
the Atlantic and in the east Gulf states,
Minnesota and Dakota, North rn Ne
braska. These excessive rains have
been accompanied by severe local storms
resulting in injury TO growing crops
and retarding harvest. In the central
valleys and the lake region less than
the usual amount of rain occurred, and
drouth continues in the corn belt, ex-
tending from Ohio westward To Iowa
and Kansas.
During July the rainfall was gener-
ally in excess in states on the Atlantic
coast, throughout the cotton belt, in the
extreme northwest, and portions of the
upper lake region; and in all other sec
tions there has been less than the usual
amount of rain during the month and
pTObaDiN less Iiltln DIe-itdlf tie uSudt
amount through the corn belt.
Excessive heat and absence of rain
throughout the corn belt has affected
this crop unfavorably, and reports from
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and thence
westward to Kansas indicate that
drouth has unfavorably affected pota-
toe and the corn crops. In the Middle
Atlantic and New England states the
weather has been favorable to corn, but
excessive rains have injured hay and
oats. In Minnesota, Dakota and Ne
hraska the weather has been generally
favorable to all crops, and harvesting is
in progress as far north as the 47th par
allel.
CHICAGO, July 31.-The following
crop summary will appear in this week s
issue of the Farmers Recieac. Con-
tinued drouth in many states has ma
terially damaged the corn crop. Where
rains have fallen the injury is, howev-
err, not as serious. The Oat crop Mt this
date is turning out light, as was ex-
pected.
WALLA WALLA, July 30.-Returns
from different threshing machines now
i'm operation in the Walla Walla valley
show an average yield of wheat of forty
bushels. On some large farms it will
go siXty-five bushels. Ins the vicinity
of Weston and Centerville the crop is
much better than was expected. On
several farms sixty bushels is the aver
age for wheat, and sixty to eighty BUSH
els is the average for barley.

The people of Oregon are to vote on
prohibition this fall. 1t is the supreme
question of the hour. Every minister,
every church, and every Christian and
moral man can well do his best. As
the women cannot vote, they can do
the next best thing, to-wit: pray and
use their utmost social influence TO car
ry this election. The lives and happi-
ness of the women of Oregon depend
upon it. If Oregon votes for prohibi-
ton, it will add to the value of prop
erty in the State, many millions. 1t
will drive out oft many idle, worthless,
vicious persons, and will surely bring
IN many thousands of virtuous, intelli-
gent, industrious, prosperous people.
Behold Kansas! She is expelling her
saloons, but filing the State with hap
py homes. Oregon cannot lose one
reputable citizen by prohibition. All
that will leave on that account will be
clear gain. She will make the State
most attractive and desirable to the
best class of immigrants. The benefits
to The children of the State will be in
aalculable. No possible harm, but i'm
measurable good will come from prohi-
bition. Vote it.

astonishing to note the tidal
srave of prohibition sentiment in old
democratic Texas. It is veritable
bastle ground. The liquor men of all

ing tide in Tennessee and Oregon.
but u. S. Senator Reagan is out with
stirring speeches and ringing letters
for it. So is ex-U. s. Senator Maxey.
So with Congressman Culberson. The
eolored bishops and clergy are side by
side with their white brethren. The
liquor men and politicians hope to buy
up the blacks, and drive them to the
polls ike sheep to a slaughter pen.
At Fort Worth, last week were a
procession of 5000 prohibitionists, two
miles long, and dinner tables mile
in length. Forty-two beeves and many
sheer, were slaughtered and roasted for
the Tree barbecue. DOZENS oi wagons
full of pics, cakes, bread and butter
were sent in. At least p, 900 people
came into town ON the occasion. All
was hsEznonious. No liquor nor the
effects of it were seen. Ex-U. S. Sen

republicans of Oregon permit the anti
amendment papers to lead them to de
feat, while democratic Texas is doing
so grand moral reform work? Rouse

Health and apostolic benediction.
1t is well known to us how ruinous,
how deplorable is the injury both to
faith and to morals that is to be feared
from intempelance in drink. Hence,
we esteem worthy of all commenda-
ton the noble resolve of your pious as
sociations, by which they pledge them
selves to abstain totally from every
kind of Intoxicating drink. Let pas
tors, therefore, do their best to drive
the plague of intemperance from the
fold of Christ by assiduous preaching
and exhortation, and to shine before
all as models of abstinance, so that the
many calamities with which this vice
threatens both church and state may
by their strenuous endeavors be
averted.

9th day of March, IN the year 1887,
